And you're surprised? Open a window. It's what I do.first, i upgraded from a 2080 ti to an msi 3090 trio and It actually was heating my room up noticeably. at no point before did i have to stop playing games because sitting next to my computer become uncomfortable. i live in the north east US and this was in the month of December. my computer literally became a space heater. so yes, it did affect my life. the suprim draw even more power than the trio. so i can't imagine it would be any better
Actually, there is a perfect reason: Silicon Lottery. Not all dies perform the same. Some can run fast, some can not. Some can run really fast at low power, some need a lot of power to run fast. It just depends on how those GPU dies are binned.and second, there is no reason for the same product (rtx 3090) from two different companies, that perform about the same, to have a difference of 100W in power draw between the two.
